We can use a special named variable in module to check whether a file has been imported as a module

00:07.970 --> 00:08.440
or not.

00:09.560 --> 00:17.470
We can see this by a simple example by creating a module and save the brand.

00:18.650 --> 00:18.800
Hello

00:22.880 --> 00:23.010
there.

00:23.100 --> 00:24.420
This file as Module 1

00:33.220 --> 00:39.310
now create another module and just say import more than 1

00:43.720 --> 00:46.800
there is a save it as a module to

00:52.680 --> 01:12.660
now when we execute these modules both will print Hello.

01:13.270 --> 01:17.710
Now we'll see if name

01:20.390 --> 01:27.540
equal mean Brent.

01:29.590 --> 01:34.640
Fellow.

01:35.990 --> 01:36.370
Brent

01:39.930 --> 01:45.040
it from another module.

01:49.540 --> 01:56.200
Now as I told you that the name variable used is used to check whether the module is being executed

01:56.200 --> 01:58.980
as a standalone or being imported.

02:00.310 --> 02:10.800
So when I let the good Module 1 as it is a standalone blueprint hello and when I will execute module

02:10.950 --> 02:18.720
2 it will print imported from another module right.

02:19.200 --> 02:21.930
Hello module

02:27.500 --> 02:32.860
we can use this behavior to make the module set in a different way.

02:34.580 --> 02:40.100
Depending on whether it is being used by itself or being imported from another module.
